See the posting below. We hope to hire a statistical geneticist for one
of our two open position. The position described below could be filled by
a statistical geneticist, so please do not hesitate to apply if you are
qualified and interested in the job. Expertise in genetic linkage and
association methods will be important, and experience with statistical
analysis of microarray data would be a major plus. We have several
faculty with interests in statistical genetics working in the divisions of
Biostatistics and Epidemiology in our School of Public Health. I am on
the search committee both for the position described below and for a
second Asst. Prof. position (see the previous message or go to this web
page: http://taxa.epi.umn.edu/~mbmiller/Assistant.html). Feel free to
